Add a selftest to verify that the verifier correctly identifies refcounted
arguments in struct_ops programs, even when they are not the first
argument. This ensures that the restriction on tail calls for programs
with __ref arguments is properly enforced regardless of which argument
they appear in.
This test verifies the fix for check_struct_ops_btf_id() proposed by
Keisuke Nishimura [0], which corrected a bug where only the first
argument was checked for the refcounted flag.
The test includes:
- An update to bpf_testmod to add 'test_refcounted_multi', an operator with
three arguments where the third is tagged with "__ref".
- A BPF program 'test_refcounted_multi' that attempts a tail call.
- A test runner that asserts the verifier rejects the program with
"program with __ref argument cannot tail call".

Current struct_ops in bpf_testmod only support attaching single instance.
Add multi_st_ops that supports multiple instances. The struct_ops uses map
id as the struct_ops id and will reject attachment with an existing id.

Test struct_ops programs returning referenced kptr. When the return type
of a struct_ops operator is pointer to struct, the verifier should
only allow programs that return a scalar NULL or a non-local kptr with the
correct type in its unmodified form.

Test referenced kptr acquired through struct_ops argument tagged with
"__ref". The success case checks whether 1) a reference to the correct
type is acquired, and 2) the referenced kptr argument can be accessed in
multiple paths as long as it hasn't been released. In the fail cases,
we first confirm that a referenced kptr acquried through a struct_ops
argument is not allowed to be leaked. Then, we make sure this new
referenced kptr acquiring mechanism does not accidentally allow referenced
kptrs to flow into global subprograms through their arguments.

The selftests build four kernel modules which use copy-pasted Makefile
targets. This is a bit messy, and doesn't scale so well when we add more
modules, so let's consolidate these rules into a single rule generated
for each module name, and move the module sources into a single
directory.
To avoid parallel builds of the different modules stepping on each
other's toes during the 'modpost' phase of the Kbuild 'make modules',
the module files should really be a grouped target. However, make only
added explicit support for grouped targets in version 4.3, which is
newer than the minimum version supported by the kernel. However, make
implicitly treats pattern matching rules with multiple targets as a
grouped target, so we can work around this by turning the rule into a
pattern matching target. We do this by replacing '.ko' with '%ko' in the
targets with subst().
